2. Remove front matter

When you publish on Pronoun, we’ll collect your author name, title, and other information and use it to automatically create your book’s front matter during conversion, so please remove the following from your .docx file:

Cover image page

Title page

Copyright page (optional)

Table of Contents

As a result, your manuscript will most likely start with your first chapter or a dedication page. (If you have a dedication or epigrah, see Step 6 to format it as a block quote.)

If you prefer to use your own copyright page, leave it in your manuscript and de-select the “Include a copyright page” option after uploading your .docx file on Pronoun.
